Thought I'd give you all an update on my driveshaft kerplosion.

I have an R32 GTR drive shaft on it's way. I'm picking up an R32 GTR box that's blown tomorrow from Sydney, of which i'll be pulling the transfer case off which will bolt up to my current R33 gearbox.

The mechanic said my water pump is stuffed, and my timing belt needs replacing, so I'm getting that done at the same time.

And I've just received my big end bearing seal which I thought I'd replace since after 200,000km i'm sure most things need replacing, and I can only get to that seal with the gearbox off.

Fingers crossed, I'll have the car back on the road Wednesday next week, so only about a 2 week turnaround, all thanks to my helpful SAU community selling me spare parts.

Here's an update for those curious to know what a drive shaft uni joint snapping does to your gearbox.

Remind me not to snap a driveshaft uni joint

Holy crap! That's pretty scary, Leshy - I can't imagine how sh!t-scared you would have been after hearing the drive shaft hitting the undersides of the car.

[Terminal]

Yeah it wasn't fun, especially since i was in peak hour traffic on the M4 in the right-most lane. luckily i had awesome NRMA coverage and they towed me back to Bathurst. I'm getting a new gearbox this weekend and should have the car back on the road mid next week.

GLad to say the car is back on the road, thanks to some very helpful SAU guys selling me the parts. Now off to the bank for a loan to repay the mechanic... ugh

[GoldZilla]

Good to hear it's up and running again, mate!

[Tangles]

damn

its always the way, selling the vehicle and it suddenly needs major repairs, thru no fault of your own

bad luck leshy

hope it sells soon, as its very tidy

just wondering if the kms are scaring off buyers? shouldnt......................

[Terminal]

Yeah I think it is, but what can you do? I got good usage out of the car, i'm not selling it because it's got lots of km's on it, only because I need to move on to different (not better) things. The car runs fine, it's had a lot of work done to it, but it might just take some time to find the right buyer. No biggy for me, I'm happy to hang onto it until that time.
